Global Hotspots Through Foreign Film

Register for this Fall 2023 course on the new NYU SPS Academy of Lifelong Learning website .
Seeing is believing, and foreign films give us the experience of traveling beyond borders without a plane ticket. The journey begins with the screening of eight award-winning foreign films from Colombia and other countries that examine global hotspots in conflict. These award-winning, powerful films serve as a catalyst for our post-screening discussions about foreign film, as well as present-day issues in the film’s geopolitical region and how the film reflects different cultures and global issues. We will watch the films together as a group and have an in-person discussion afterwards. For the last session, the class may be invited for an in-person, private visit to the United Nations. Fall 2023 tuition is $999.
Registering at least three weeks prior to the course start date is highly recommended.
